Cobra - Glühwein - Gastropubs Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

Cobra is located right next to the Christmas Village Amsterdam and the Museumplein so we stopped for a snack before heading over to the Christmas Village. It's very crowded, being as it's so close to the museums. I had some wild mushroom croquettes and my companion had Dutch pea soup (enormous bowl). We split an order of fries. It took a while to get the servers attention, both to order and to pay, though everyone was friendly, just very busy with bar orders, hot chocolates, gluhwein, etc. There is a charge for the bathroom, although the server can provide you with a ticket for it. read more

We stopped at Cobra for a break and a quick bite to eat between museums. It's near the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, and MOCO museum. There were a few food trucks outside these museums, but on a rainy, cold day, I just wanted to sit indoors, relax, warm up, and decompress for a bit. I tried the hot chocolate, which was warm, delicious, and less sweet than American hot chocolate, and my husband had a latte. We brought in what was left of a soda from the food truck, and the server told him he wasn't allowed to bring in outside food or beverages (even though we both ordered inside the restaurant). We shared an order of poffertjes, which are mini pancakes with powdered sugar and butter, and they hit the spot. You can find Dutch foods here as well, so it's a good chance to check those items off your list if you're in Amsterdam for a short time. This isn't a must-stop, but it was the right place at the right time in the Museum District. read more

I want 1/2 stars , as this restaurant wasn't quite 4 stars, but not is it a flat 3; going with 3.5 's. The staff is courteous & welcoming. You can pick inside patio, side patio, today the inside was completely reserved. For snacks we had the chicken & avocado sammie with truffle mayonnaise & Parmesan cheese, an order of chicken nuggets & an order of fries. When the nuggets arrived, I thought it was a child's dish, but overall they nuggets were tasty. Hubby had the chicken & avocado sammie, which came with truffle mayonnaise. There was a pint of beer & a soft drink. The meal was okay. People watching from this venue lends itself well. Great spot to catch a bite when you're coming out of the museum. read more

Pleasant to eat here outside and we chose to eat here out if convenience being close to the Van Gogh Museum. Crowded but the food here is only so- so for the price . Tiny bottle of seltzer water for 4 Euros. Service was a little erratic and slow. read more

Had a quick bite in between the rijksmuseum and hoping on a canal tour boat. I enjoyed the avocado spinach sandwich here and would def recommend it for a healthy filling lunch. The service was very friendly as well, we ordered a small heineken but they accidentally served a large, however they only charged for a small. We also tried their berry juice and it was so fresh! The outdoor seating was all clean and overall we enjoyed our visit! read more

We ate here for lunch between tours of the Rijksmuseum and Van Gogh Museum. Food was good, and so was service, although I had to ask for more water a second time. And the thin bottles of Pepsi Maxes kept adding up by meal's end. A Tuna Salad Sandwich for me, with mayonnaise, capers, celery, apple, Red Onions, tomatoes, and Mesclun Lettuce on Brown Bread was filled with moist tuna, and soft French Fries seemed fresh but were not very flavorful. Diane selected a Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Extra Cheese. She pronounced it tasty enough, but it did not look like it was brimming with cheese. Also, initially she did not have a napkin, and a small piece of crud was on her provided fork. Pureed Cauliflower Soup, the soup of the day that I ordered as an afterthought, was extremely smooth, hot, and excellent. 3-1/2 stars overall! read more

Located in the Museum Platt, this place has nowhere to go but to turn and burn visitors with quick, simple and ample F&B. They've even covered the market on the WC crisis. Charging €1 for use of the downstairs loo. Quickly seating you inside or outside, you scan the 1 page menu and order up. We ordered Soup du Jour which was a frickin tureen of scalding delicious Cauliflower-Carrot Potage with brown bread €7. Awesome paper thin Beef Carpaccio on arugula, on a Ciabatta sandwich roll €9, and the Beef Burger with caramelized onions and Frites €14. Service was incredibly polite, efficient and friendly. I witnessed plenty of pensioners hobbling in and they took care of them immediately. Lest they start the 100th Annual Grumble-Fest. I saw lots of damp, cold cranky, hangry folks looking for a knife fight, since they probably walked for 5 miles of being elbowed through crowded museum aisles of uninteresting billion $ artworks and sculptures. All leaving with smiles from smirks, drained bladders and fueled stomachs for the next marathon shuffling trying to see the grains of sand in a 150 year old Van Gogh seascape. read more

MUST. TRY. POFFERTJES!!! If anyone tells you that Amsterdam isn't known for any of their food, then don't listen to them because you don't know what life is until you've had poffertjes! Cobra Café is located right next to the "I am Amsterdam" sign next to the Rijksmuseum so if you're looking for a bite to eat, this is definitely a good place to start because it's so close to everything any tourist would want to visit. Cobra Café has a plethora of options to choose from but since I was freezing in 50° weather I opted for the soup of the day and a plate of delicious pancakes while my boyfriend got the burger and fries. And for drinks? Heineken, of course! The food was great and the service was decent. The only downside is that there's a charge for the bathroom which is part of the bill. Overall, would highly recommend coming here and definitely plan to do so when I return. (92/100 -- 2018) read more

We stopped here for lunch after visiting the museum. Friendly staff, great views of the park, and plenty of seating. I ordered the chicken avocado sandwich and an orange juice. It was simple, fresh, and really good. read more

Perfect place to wrap up our day at the Rijksmuseum! Stopped in for drinks and snacks when the museum closed. Great atmosphere, large glass windows with sunshine pouring into small bistro and cafe style tables in addition to bar seating. We ordered fries, served in a cone --nice fries not greasy in the least. Also -- Bitterballen which was delicious! Perfectly fried exterior & delicious beef gravy filling. Such good flavor! The favorite at our table though--was the Reypenaer which was a generous wedge of Dutch aged cheese , fig jam and slices of fresh bread. Delicious snacks --we would absolutely visit again! read more

I had the chance to visit Cobra while grabbing breakfast with a friend before checking out the nearby Moco Museum. Situated close to the Rijk, Van Gogh, and the Moco, Cobra is an ideal spot to grab a meal within close proximity to these museums. It's obviously aimed at serving tourists, but nevertheless gets the job done in more than one category. When we arrived we were immediately seated. The restaurant itself is surrounded with floor to ceiling windows which allows you the perfect vantage point to people watch while enjoying your meal. Our server gave us our menu's and gave us ample time to look over it before returning. When it came time to order I went with their signature breakfast sandwich. Nothing too remarkable, however it definitely was a sizable portion that had me feeling full by the end of the meal. The wait staff here were also incredibly polite! Our server came back several times throughout or meal asking if we needed anything else and they also served complimentary water here which as an American, was EXTREMELY appreciated. Overall this place sold me on the abundance of natural lighting and the friendliness of the staff. I definitely recommend enjoying a casual meal here if you find yourself exploring any of the museums nearby. read more

My friend and I got the Amsterdam sandwich -cheese, fig spread, walnuts - it was sooooooooo good. Highly highly HIGHLY recommend it. We were told on our cheese tour that aged Gouda on bread is a traditional Amsterdam lunch so I tried it. So glad I did! My husband got a burger and it was just ok. But, I think that's a function of the local beef supply because all the restaurants have an issue with beef. (In my opinion) read more

Came to Cobra for breakfast while in Amsterdam and had a some damn good food. The breakfast sandwich (eggs, cheese and bacon) was delicious and filling. My friend had the grilled cheese with ham and tomato which he said was good, though he put ketchup on it so I don't know if I or anyone else can trust his judgement. The food is damn good, but the service is suspect. read more

Good food fast. We had lunch here. It was very busy but we were served quickly. Very convenient to Rijksmuseum.

Bloody disgusting. After a visit to the Rijks Museum my business partner and I want to grab a quick drink, so we ventured over to this establishment. The environment was nothing to write home about and no one greeted us upon entering. Since we were only there for drinks, we made out way over to the bar. After 5 minutes of waiting, a bar tender came up to us and asked what we would like, and we both answered a Pepsi It took the bartender several minutes to get us our our ridiculously small drinks. Here is the disgusting part I personally watched as the bartender and several of the wait staff put their hands into the ice bucket to grab ice cubes. This was after watching them handle money, dirty dishes, and what not. There were a perfectly good set of Tonga in the ice bucket but nobody used them. To top it all off the two drinks Came to 6.60 euros read more

Great place for a drink or a bite after the Van Gogh and other museums. Glass windows allow you to see the action outside. Steps from the tramp if you are using public transportation. Bartender was very helpful, we ask for a suggestion on where to eat for good local food and he recommended an excellent place we tried that night. read more

In the heart of the museum district this is a great place for a beer and sandwich. Reviewing Yelp we decided to stopped for lunch. The food was good and service excellent. The restroom is downstairs and it does take .50. But get the coupon outside the restroom as it will get you the .50 euro taken off your tab. Give Cobra a try, you won't be disappointed. read more

Great location but I have been sitting here for 15 minutes and no one has come over to take my order although staff has walked by. Finally waved a waitress down- let's see how long it takes to get my Heineken. It is a beautiful sunny day and a great time to sit here and enjoy it. Just a shame the service is so bad. read more

Good for a quick stop when touring the museums in the area, but I wouldn't make it a regular stop on my daily visits in the area.... The burger was okay and the croquettes were average. The service was okay, but nothing to write home about, read more

Sitting in the cobra, waiting for my check. Service is at a snail's pace. Best thing about this place in my opinion is the people watching. It sits right in front of the rijksmuseum. Not very knowledgable about gluten free diet and I should mention again how slow the service is. If you need shelter from nature's element and a beer, stop in. Otherwise pass. First and last time for this place. read more

Cobra - Cold beer at the cobra cafe - Gastropubs Near Me - Amsterdam, New Hampshire

The cafe is conveniently located in Vondel Park, close to the Rijksmuseum. We went for a late lunch and there were plenty of diners everywhere. There's indoor and outdoor seating at this large cafe. The cafe has a retro feel to it and is light and bright. I got a tuna salad and a pea soup. The soup was excellent, with a touch of cream that did not overpower the peas. Tuna salad was disappointing, made with canned tuna. My partner got a burger and frites and the frites were delicious! He pronounced the burger perfect too. The servers were friendly and attentive and checked in several times with us. read more

Mediocre food - I got a sandwich- bread was good, rest was meh at best. Horrible service, even by European standards.

The service is 5 star but they charge .50 for use of bathroom and they close too early but thats because touristy area since its located by the museums. The bartender, Lennart, is friendly & attentive. The wine is €4 and beer either €3,90-€6. I recommend the chicken pesto, tuna & old Amsterdam sandwiches for lunch (€8). read more

Great location in the museum district. Fantastic for people watching. My boyfriend and I grabbed a quick lunch here on our way to the Van Gogh Museum. "Quick" is the word to be stressed because upon reading other reviews of the place I was kind of worried about the time it would take to get our food and our check. Both were delivered promptly and with a smile. I had the Poffertjes (tiny Dutch pancakes) and he had a burger. Both were tasty. It was a very pleasant (and well timed) lunch. read more

Cobra cafe was a nice typical outdoor European cafe. The outdoor seating is nice to grab a nice bite to eat and nice Heineken. We ordered a smoked chicken salad and an apple pie.

I had lunch here during the off-season but it was still quite full of people. As others have commented, the food was good but the wait service was very slow.
